[committed 1/2] libstdc++: Fix multiple definitions of std::exception_ptr functions [PR 97729]

[Jonathan Wakely]

This fixes some multiple definition errors caused by the changes for
PR libstdc++/90295. The previous solution for inlining the members of
std::exception_ptr but still exporting them from the library was to
suppress the 'inline' keyword on those functions when compiling
libsupc++/eh_ptr.cc, so they get defined in that file. That produces ODR
violations though, because there are now both inline and non-inline
definitions in the library, due to the use of std::exception_ptr in
other files sucg as src/c++11/future.cc.

The new solution is to define all the relevant members as 'inline'
unconditionally, but use __attribute__((used)) to cause definitions to
be emitted in libsupc++/eh_ptr.cc as before. This doesn't quite work
however, because PR c++/67453 means the attribute is ignored on
constructors and destructors. As a workaround, the old solution
(conditionally inline) is still used for those members, but they are
given the always_inline attribute so that they aren't emitted in
src/c++11/future.o as inline definitions.


Tested powerpc64le-linux. Committed to trunk.
